Winter Fruit Salad #SundaySupper

If you read my blog frequently, then you probably know a few things about me, one of which is that I hate winter. Really, I can’t stand it. The thought alone makes me want to build a blanket fort and crawl under it, not coming out until it’s spring.

As I write this, it is rather spring like (thanks, El Nino!). The sun is shining in a cloudless blue sky and the temperature is in the 60s. Too bad the wind is so strong it literally may blow me over. Still it’s better than last February.

Other than pretending it’s nice out, dreaming of moving, and looking at pictures of sunnier, warmer days, fruit is a great way to get a feel for summer in the dead of winter.

My Winter Fruit Salad is the perfect way to get that summer vibe going. Match a bowl of this, and enjoy it, maybe with your eyes closed and thoughts of flowers and beaches rolling through your mind.

While I will always take fruit as it is, I jazzed this salad up with a quick dressing, toasted coconut, and candied ginger. It only took about ten minutes to make and is best made ahead of time and allowed to chill so all the flavors marry. Make this on Sunday and enjoy it throughout the week on oatmeal, as a snack, or even as dessert with some ice cream.

I’m already feeling summer vibes, and you will be too as soon as you make this salad!
